Wouldn't take much to be better looking than the advert for the British Dental Association. Don't think he's actually doing anything with the band now. Last time I heard of them they guy from the Clash was fronting the band(?) or have I completely made that up??

Was The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn done because Shane McGowan kissed his girl by the factory wall !!

Great songs/fantastic album. My kid brother used to roadie for them. Saw them at a park in Scunny in the eighties. Brilliant live.


Elvis Costello produced that album. It was during those session that he met Cait O'Riordan, his future wife.

Absolutelyfuckinggreat album.

In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground.
And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around.
Some cursed some prayed, some prayed then cursed, then prayed then bled some more.
And the only thing that I could see was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me.
But when we got back labelled parts one to three, there was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me.


How on earth such an ugly, toothless drunk can come up with that is beyond me...

Hmm, "The guy from The Clash" - how dare you talk about my all time hero in such a way!

The music died on 22 December 2002 when Joe Strummer departed this earth. That guy that taught me all I know about social decay, political and social repression, and militarism. A true great in all senses.

In 1983 when he sacked Mick Jones he went into a huge decline and only got his creative shit together in 1999 when he formed The Mescalaros; they went on to produce some excellent albums - worth checking them out.

A DVD of his life story came out a year or so ago, called "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten" - absolutely worth watching that.

I second that, a great celebretion of a great man!

On the Music documentarys/DVD front I watched Amazing Journey the story of the who the other night, I have always enjoyed the who but the story made me appreciate them so much more.

I actually prefer "Marquee Moon" by Television. The title track must rank as having one of the best riffs ever. Now, I wish I'd been fortunate enough to see them live.
I once played a Frank Zappa live album at 45 r.p.m. by accident and didn't realise...

suprised no-one has chipped in with any Pink Floyd tracks??

or am i just boring??

David Gilmour has to be amongst the top 5 guitarists of all time along with (in no particular order) Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Gary Moore

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Hotel California - The Eagles
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Back In Black - AC/DC
Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
November Rain - Guns n Roses
Sympathy For The devil - Rolling Stones
Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Running To Stand Still - U2
Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

All the above songs (and many more others too) have to be from some of the most influential artists of all time


If all the cars in England were placed end to end on a long road, some sharp object in a Type-R would still try to pass them
